Finn Mikaelson
•
Mia, Freya and Elijah have just returned to the compound and are struggling to carry the writhing Finn into the living room as he shouts incoherently.
"Don't leave me in here! Don't leave me alone!"
"Put him down." Elijah says and the girls do as told.
"Hey, hey, hey. You're not alone, Finn. I'm here." Freya says trying to calm him down. Mia feels tears start to form and she quickly looks away. Elijah was going to grab him some blood but Finn grabbed him by his wrist.
"Don't leave..." he whispered.
Freya looked confused, " Why is he talking like this?"
"It's hallucinations of our betrayal. It's his nightmare." Elijah says uncomfortably.
Just then, Kol walks into the room, looking unbothered by the sight of Finn's discomfort as he heads straight for the opposite couch, where he flops onto his back.
"Well, he looks awful. Werewolf bite. That's got to hurt, mate. So, Lucien's a bloody hybrid?" Kol asked.
"We don't know what he is. His venom seems to work twice as fast." Mia said, in a quiet voice.
"That's good. Maybe it'll work through his system twice as fast." Freya said trying to remain optimistic.
Kol gets up and shrugs nonchalantly as he turns to leave the room, "Or it's twice as lethal. Now, if Niklaus doesn't get here in time, he might die. With a bit of luck..."
Freya gets up and punches Kol in the face, causing him to vamp-out at her. Mia quickly stands up to defend Freya, "Watch yourself." She warned.
Elijah slaked his fist impatiently, "Behave yourselves!"
Just then, Klaus walks in from the opposite door and breaks up their argument. "You so much as lay a finger on them Kol, I'll-"
"You'll what? Dagger me?!"
"Enough!" Elijah Yelled, " Our brother needs us."
Finn moans and wheezes from the couch, and the sight of him wipes the smirk off of Klaus' face. Klaus looks between Finn and Elijah for a moment before sighing in exasperation and walking over to Finn. He rolls up his sleeve, bites his wrist, and feeds Finn his blood while the others watch in varying states of surprise.
Finn has just stopped feeding on Klaus' blood and sighs in relief, "Thank you, brother."
"How are you feeling?" Freya asked.
Finn looked at the wall, slightly uncomfortable. "I feel... strangely euphoric."
"Nik has that affect." Mia said with a smug smirk, "She's Right." Klaus said wrapping his arms around Mia from behind, "A sight for old eyes." Finn sighed closinghsi eyes for a second enjoying the fact that he no longer felt pain.
Kol, who has been watching from afar, claps slowly and dramatically, "What a precious family moment. Pardon me while I go and gouge out my eyes with a hot poker."
Everyone stares at Kol with an unamused expression at his attitude, but Finn just looks at him with a serious expression.
"I thank even you, Kol. Your little witch actually came through."
Kol frowns at the reminder of his behavior toward her today as Finn sighs deeply for a moment before continuing.
"Today... I saw a glimpse of your coveted Always and Forever."He looks up at Klaus and Mia who smiles at him.
"And... I..." He's cut off by an intense coughing fit that causes him to throw himself over the edge of the couch as he coughs up a large amount of blood. Mia rushed to him, with everyone close behind.
"Finn!" Klaus says looking at Mia worried.
"Finn! Oh, what's happening?" Elijah panicked.
Finn grunts in pain as Freya and Elijah once again hold him down as he thrashes on the couch. All of the Mikaelsons look panicked as they watch helplessly.
"What's wrong with him?" Elijah asks.
Mia pushes Elijah aside softly white inspecting the bite and pulling his shirt up, "His body, it's dying..." Mia said quietly as she saw veins begin to for throuout his chest.
"No! No, it's not possible! I cured him!"
Finn wheezes and claws against Freya who was holding his hand.
"Freya-" Finn grunts as Freya desperately tries to hide her fear.
"Hey! It's going to be all right, brother. We'll fix this, you'll see. Okay?" Freya turns to her brothers, "Get my pendant. Mia we need-"
"It won't work! Davina fused his soul to his body." Kol said feeling panic along with guilty.
"We've got to try! There's no Other Side! No Ancestral well if he dies."
Klaus' tone is desperate as he turns to Kol, "No, get your bloody girlfriend back here to undo what she's done! Finn, you will drink from the source until Freya can move you."
Klaus goes to bite his wrist, but Finn stops him. "No. Don't leave me alone!"
Freya grabs Finn's right hand and squeezes it, just as Elijah takes Finn's left. Klaus, standing behind Finn's head, reaches out and puts his hand on his chest, and Finn smiles weakly when he realizes he's not alone.
"Brother? Finn? Hey, brother, we're here. We are here. I'm here, brother." Freya says quietly.
Kol, looking guilty, reaches out and gently puts his hand on Finn's leg as Freya breaks down in sobs. Mia stands up slowly, and rushes behind Klaus putting her hand on his chest.
"You're going to be okay Finn." Mia whispered before closing her eyes and chanting quietly. Klaus feels himself being strained of enegery and turns to face Mia confused, who is focused on the spell. Her nose and eyes begin to bleed, but she keeps quiet not wanting to disturb the moment. She just needed to channel Klaus to finish the spell.
"Please..." Finn whispers.
Freyas lips tremble as she looks at her younger brother, "You are not alone. I am here. I am here. I am here with you. Okay? I'm with you."
Elijah grips Finn's hand tighter and does his best to keep himself from crying just as Finn looks up at him one last time before his skin desiccates and turns gray, the life slowly leaving his eyes.
Freya breaks down, and tears start to fall down Elijah and Klaus' cheeks. Even Kol can't help but shed a tear at the loss of his brother and the sadness his siblings are feeling as they slowly let go. Mia bites her lip, letting go of Klaus giving Freya a small smile while tears of happiness escape her eyes.
"Mia why..." Freya asks, confused and lost of words.
Mia grabbed her hand, "I couldn't stop him from dying, but I could put him in a place where he won't suffer." Mia said as Freya, who still had a confused look on her face began to speak up only to be cut off by Mia.
"Don't worry about it now, just know Finn will be alright". Mia whispered hugging Freya before standing up to clean herself up.
As soon as she was out of sight, Mia stumbled and fell while holding onto the railing on the second floor. She felt her body begin the reparations needed to heal her, but it wasn't as fast.
"A spell that big, must have taken a toll on you. It certainly did on me." Klaus said walking out of the room and reaching down to pick her up.
"I had to." Mia replied wrapping her arms around him.
"Grieve, my love. I will explain everything another time." Mia whispered as she caressed his face, her fingers feeling the small stumble starting to grow.
Klaus sighed deeply before he brought the girl closer. "I love you." Mia said quietly into his chest.
Klaus smiled, "And I love you."
_
The Mikaelsons have gone to the docks, where they have opened a silver urn with the Mikaelson "M" engraved in the side in preparation to scatter his ashes across the Mississippi River.
"You fought against what time and circumstance made you. You're free, now, Finn." Elijah scoops up a handful of ashes and tosses them in the water before handing the urn to Kol.
"I loathed you for centuries." Kol started and Elijah couldn't help but roll his eyes at this remark
"Even now, it remains unabated. But, I know torment, brother. So, I hope you somehow find peace in the abyss, Mia has created." K says in a hopeful tone before he throws his handful of ashes and hands the urn to Freya, who is already crying and sniffling.
"When you were born, you gave me a gift-- you were my first friend. Today, you gifted me my life..." Freya sobs harder and sniffles before she continues, "And my brothers united... even if for a moment. I love you."
Mia grabbed a handful before passing it to Klaus, "You were kind to me, when we were children. When your brothers weren't around, it was you who aided me when I needed a friend who will give me wisdom." Mia whispered, a small smile forming as she remembered those times.
"And I thank you for that, Finn."
Klaus grabs the last handful and looks at the water, "Just know, you will be avenged." Tears fill his eyes, and he drops the ashes in the river before walking back to the car.
When they had arrived back home, they all sat in silence next to the fire place Mia had lit by uttering one word.
"Lucien did all of this to become like his maker, and yet, my bite cannot kill an Original. What are we up against here, brother?" Klaus asks Elijah, as Mia noticed her boyfriends genuine fear.
Elijah shakes his head in disbelief, "I truly don't know."
Just then, Hayley walks into the room and joins them. "I might. Klaus and I found Lucien's R & D lab full of werewolves. He's harvesting venom, but not to find a cure. He's trying to create a more lethal strain." Hayley informed.
"Well, that must be what he added to the spell to make him whatever the hell he is now. He kept boasting about having something that would make him better than an Original." Freya said angrily.
"Klaus is descended from one of the seven original wolf bloodlines. I am descended from another. Lucien's venom... is derived from all seven packs." Hayley says which makes them all sit up as their brains figure out what she's saying.
Klaus' eyes widen in horror when he realizes the implications, "Giving him a bite that not even I can cure."
Mia finally spoke up, "There were two vitals of serum, and he only drank one."
"Maybe it's because the spell will wear off eventually and he'll need another dose?" Freya questioned outloud.
Klaus has a dawning realization that makes his face go cold, "Or he made enough for two."
Elijah frowns in confusion at Klaus' terrified face,
"Aurora."
Mia immidietly rolls her eyes and throws her hands up, "Of course."
Klaus goes to the tomb that was Aurora's prison, turns the corner to where he bricked her inside, and stops dead in his tracks.
Mia and Elijah catch up with him from the opposite direction, and the trio walk slowly toward the cell as they become more shocked.
"She's gone."
Mia inspects the brick wall and noticed knocked over candles. She clenches her fists and pushes past the two brothers and heads home.
The next day, Freya and Mia has set up a space to work on how to kill Lucien.
"This isn't going to work! We can't do the spell in reverse!" Mia said frustrated as she crumbled up the paper before tossing it on the floor.
"Mia, I can't concentrate with you throwing things every time something fails!" Freya said.
Mia rolled her eyes slamming the book shut telepathically before walking towards the window and looking out. "I created 'another side' to save Our family from the dark abyss known as death. Finn is safe, Freya I can assure you that. I practically created a heaven for the Mimaelson family." Mia joked wuioty as she turned to see Freyas reaction.
Freya was staring at the floor before looking up, "I thank you for that Mia, with everything I've got. Take a deep breathe, and come help me. We will find a way, we have to. " Freya said making Mia nod as she went back to work.
"Nik come in." Mia said closing a grim ore as she opened the doors with her magic to reveal a anxious Klaus pacing back and forth.
"You're hovering." Freya mumbled as she flipped through another page.
"I'm supervising. How else to speed up your endeavors? Let's see. Perhaps I should bring Vincent here? Force him to aid you two by removing his legs?" Klaus said.
"Vincent doesn't know how to kill Lucien, either. Besides, if he leaves the St. James, who knows what the Ancestors will make him do next?" Freya said defending her friend .
Just then, Elijah breezes into the room and joins them,"The Ancestors are thoroughly occupied, according to Davina, terrorizing our brother." Elijah said rubbing his forehead.
Mia sighed, "keep doing that El, and you're going to get wrinkles.
Klaus ignores her, "What a surprise! Another day, another witch-inspired vendetta."
"Well, Davina can take care of Kol for now. Let us focus our energies on Lucien. How do we demolish that rodent?" Elijah asked, making eye contact with Mia.
Mia sighs, "we are working on it."
"Yes! While we all have our roles to play, Elijah can stay here and oversee whatever Mia and Freya is doing. I'm going to actually accomplish something." Klaus says as he walks towards the door.
"Brother, accomplishing something-" Elijah tried to stop him but fails and fuels Klaus' anger.
"The time for talking is done!" Klaus says before storming out. Mia watches him leave, the expression of sadness evident in her facial expression.
Hours went by and the girls had no success in coming up with something to help them. Mia has grown weak from the spells and the fact that Freya was channeling her to get as much power as she can. Elijah had grown irritated with the fact that he couldn't do anything but watch them work, he couldn't go out because every second outside was he would fear for his life .
"
In the upstairs living room, Freya is still sketching with a piece of charcoal. Her rough drafts are covering the coffee table, and Elijah is pacing impatiently]
"we are out of time." Elijah said pacing impatiently around the girls. Mia looked up at him annoyed, "You try making a siglo."
Elijah gave her look, and Freya interjected their incoming argument.
"A sigil is a complicated magical symbol, weaponized and condensed to its most potent form. If we combine the right elements, we'll have a chance at stopping Lucien, and if we don't..." Freya trailed off.
The sound of panicked knowing echoes through the compound. They each give eachother an alarmed look before rushing downstairs.
Mia looks confused as she sees Camille at the enterance which only worries her, "whats wrong?"
"Its Klaus...Lucien has him."
Mia's eyes widen and her breathing quickens at the news, "No." She whisperes feeling a headache coming.
"Freya! Invite her in!" Hayley yells from upstairs and Freya does as told, "yeah, come in your invited."
Cami looks nervous as she takes a step forward, and once she crosses the threshold with no problems, she rushes toward them. Hayley takes a look outside to make sure no one else is coming before following the group in the courtyard.
"Tell us what happened." Elijah says while going over to Mia, to help calm her.
"Lucien ambushed him. He knocked him around like it was nothing." Camille said, worried.
Mia looked at her, the circles and look of exhaustion on Mia's face surprising Camille. "Did he bite him?" Mia asked quietly.
Camille shook her head, "No. I think he wanted him alive. I followed them. Lucien took Klaus back to the penthouse."
Just then, Elijah's phone buzzes, and he scowls when he sees that he has received a text from Lucien.
"Lucien is demanding my presence at the Whiskey Cask-- alone and immediately. He says if I delay, Niklaus will die." Elijah said lowering his tone in the last part to not scare Mia even more.
Mia looked at Elijah, "Go, and be careful Elijah." Mia says hugging him before leaving the room to go into hers. Elijah's head hung low for a second as he thought about the possibility of him not returning before leaving the remaining peoples
Klaus has been shackled by his wrists that are linked to long chains suspended from the ceiling, which are also attached to a small log of wood that rests against the back of Klaus' neck, forcing him in a pose similar to a crucifixion. He shouts in agony as Lucien kneels in front of him and rips Papa Tunde's blade from his chest. Meanwhile, Aurora is pacing back and forth in front of them and watching with interest.
"That does look uncomfortable. Is it too tight?" Lucien asks mocking him.
Klaus desperately tries to break free of his restraints and is horrified to find that even his strength is not enough to.
"No, I think it fits just fine." Aurora said as Lucien stood to his feet and continued to talk.
"Those chains and that wood were crafted by Ancient Egyptians keen on suppressing all sorts of evil. Nothing supernatural can escape-- not even you. You see, I've been stockpiling such items for a long, long time. Planning this moment for centuries. Tell me-- how does it feel, knowing you've been outdone by your better?"
Klaus scoffed, "You think you're my better? I think your upgrade has infected your head, and made you as delusional as her. At least you're truly a pair. I'll be sure to scatter both your ashes in the same patch of bog."
Lucien turned to Aurora, "Is that a hint of fear in his voice?" He asked her.
Aurora nodded, "Yeah."
"Usually your taunts and threats are so much more convincing." Lucien said.
"I think he's beaten, my darling. Just not yet broken. But then, we're just getting started. All I have to do... is take this, and then I, too, shall be your better. Have you any idea what torment you'll endure then for what you did to my brother? And to me? I will take such exquisite joy in killing you myself. Along with breaking the news to your oh so beloved Mia." Aurora said bending down to Kalus' height.
"Well, clearly you two have much to discuss. So, if you'll excuse me, I have business elsewhere." Lucien says to Klaus before turning to Aurora, "Now, darling, you may have your fun. But, please keep Nik alive. I would so hate to miss his death." He says before kissing her cheek and heading out.
Klaus scoffed, shaking his head in disgust while Lucien closed the door leaving them alone.
"What's wrong Nik, jealous?" Aurora asked genuinely.
Klaus stared at her, "You've got nothing on Mia and you never will. You and the stable boy are a perfect match, both delusional and dysfunctional."
Mia walked downstairs, with a bag of some dark objects she had made and encountered Hayley and Camille. Mia stared at them for a moment before speaking up, "I have a plan. You can either help or get the hell out of my way."
The two other girls offered to help which pleaded Mia and they quickly came up with a plan to get Klaus out. "Camille, if you get in my way and something happens to Klaus I will drive a stake through your heart after ripping every limb in your body, and hearing your screams electo through the compound like music." Mia whispered in her ear before getting in the car.
Hayley had volenrwered to drive, against Mia's will, and started the car ride.
"You really do love him, don't you?" Camille asked making Mia turn around to look at her.
"I don't need your psych analysis Camille." Mia said annoyed.
"No, it's fascinating! The love you two share, it's one of a kind, and...and unbreakable. I heard about the masacre happening all throughout the states and it took me awhile to figure out it was you. You, Mia, would kill anyone for him. And god knows what Klaus would do for you, he would quite literally move heaven and earth for you. That's fascinating, and it was foolish of me to think I could have even a moment of his affection." Camille said taking both Mia and Hayley by surprise.
"Anyone would fall in love with you, you're strong and independent. Not to mention you're stunning." Camille said making Mia raise an eyebrow.
"Careful Camille I might think you fancy me."
"My point is," Camille blushed, "I'm sorry. For everything I've done to you in attempt to gain his attention. I'm sorry." She said, in a guinjne tone.
Mia smiled, "I accept your apology." She said looking through the mirror just as Hayley pulled into Lucien's building.
Aurora has just ripped the stake out of Klaus' throat, causing him to groan in pain.
"That's it? Nothing more to say? No more taunts tripping from your tongue? You won't rub in the fact that I never had your heart, but it was her? You made her into one of you. And that hurt." Aurora said scanning his face to get some sort of reaction but Klaus said nothing.
"Well, then, I suppose it's time I finish this" She takes the stake and aims it at her heart.
"What are you doing?" Klaus asked.
"I'm gonna drive this into my heart, die, and be reborn. And then, with the aid of my new-found power... I'm going to kill her in front of you before I silence you permanently" Before she can make a move, the elevator dings in the lobby, forcing Aurora to go and investigate.
"Well, it appears we have company." Aurora said and opens the double doors. She is .org surprised and amused to see Camille standing in front of her.
"Huh, I thought I smelled cheap perfume. I thought Amelia would come but I instead got you. True love is real." Aurora said sarcastically while turning to rub it in Klaus' face.
"It truly is." Mia said revealing herself from her invisiblity spell.
"Ah." Aurora ignored Camille and turned to Mia with a smirk.
"Mia get out of her." Klaus growled making Mia raise an eyebrow. "Since when do I run from a fight my love, especially when it's haute feed I would win". Mia said swaying her neck side by side before getting into a fighting stance.
Aurora chuckled doing the same, "My elders first."
And with that, their fight began.
Mia was much stronger, and more skilled than Aurora and took her on easily.
"I am going to take great pleasure in killing you." Mia said, out of breathe while Aurora just smiles.
"Quite the opposite Amelia, it is I who will take pleasure in killing you." Aurora said before lunging at Mia.
Mia quickly jumped onto the center table as Aurora followed close behind in attempt to catch her. Mia leaped into the air using some strength before turning around and slamming her head on the table.
Klaus winced a little at the sight and so did Camille.
Aurora doubles over, groaning in pain as she recovered. Mia used that time to rush over to Klaus and try to undo the spell the chains contained.
The two were disgraced with each other's presence which Aurora used to her advantage and uses the venom Lucien made specifically for Mia.
"No!" Klaus yelled as Mia screamed and whispered in pain from the venom. Mia fell right at Klaus' feet while he tried to break free.
Aurora ignored the ache in her head as she turned to face Camille. "I would run if I were you."
Aurora walked out of the penthouse and lunged for Camille when Hayley sped out of the elevator stabbing her with one of Mia's dark objects.
Aurora pulled the knife out, as Hayley tackled her and shoved her hand in her chest. "Don't! She drank the serum." Klaus yelled. In the second Hayley looked over to Klaus, Aurora snapped her neck throwing her aside.
She dragged hayley inside leaving the frightened Camille alone for now, "Nik, what a conundrum! Mother of your child over here-" She gestures toward the unconscious Hayley before saying, "and the love of your life."She gestures towards Mia who is weak from the venom.
"Which one should I kill first?" Aurora asked sweetly.
"Go to hell." Mia said.
"I'm the one who betrayed you. I'm the one you hate." Klaus said trying to shield Mia.
"And they're the ones you care for. So, what a pleasure for me to watch your face as I rip them apart!" Aurora said before looking down at Mia smugly.
"Aurora please!" Klaus begged, which only fueled her rage. She grabbed Mia, and yanked her. "I'm aware you've been invited in Mia, but let's see how you do with dark objects." She said as Mia's eyes widened.
"This knife, looks pretty." Aurora said inspecting a silver knife with a red tip. "Please don't!" Klaus begged trying to break free.
Mia bit her lip, some of her objects were hexed. It was only a matter of time before Aurora used one on her.
Aurora looked at Klaus once last time before plunging the knife into Mia's chest making her scream out in pain.
Mia cried as she felt the effect of the knife take place in her body. Her skin turned pale, and her eyes began to bleed from the effects.
"Oh dear." Aurora said slightly taken back by the magical item. Klaus roared and caught against the chains.
Mia sobbed as she grabbed her head, looking around the room and hearing voices of those killed in there. "No!" She cried.
The knife was meant to split the soul of the victim into two, making it expirience life and death at the same time. The warmth of life would slowly fade along with their life as the victim enters the cold and haunting afterlife.
Klaus watched helplessly, "Oh darling I almost feel sorry for you." Aurora said while looking around for another object.
Through gritted teeth, Mia swore at Aurora taking all of them by surprise.
"She kisses you with that dirty mouth?! What a bad girl." Aurora teased before grabbing something else. In the moment her back was turned Mia turned to look at Hayley.
Mia clenched her fists as she said the words, "evigilare faciatis" which caused hayley to awaken before breathing heavily.
"Did you try to do magic?" Aurora asked, amused.
"I did, what are you going to do about it." Mia asked, using her remaining strength to get up. "I am, a tribrid. My mother is as powerful as the original witch. Did you really think we came here unprepared?" Mia asked backing away and going to the exit.
Aurora chuckled following her, "Soon, Amelia I will be invincible. Neither you or Niklaus will be able to stop me and it is then I will laugh in your face as realization hits That you are nothing against me."
"We'll see about that." Mia whispered and ducked down just as Hayley lunged from behind her and knocked Aurora down. Hayley injected a serum into auroras neck instantly making her feel droussy.
"Clever." She said before going unconscious on the floor. Mia sighed in relief as she jogged over to Klaus, undoing his chains.
"I like you in these." Mia said while unwrapping the one on his neck.
"I like them better on you." He said in the same flirty tone making Mia blush and Hayley gag.
"Let's go!" Hayley said dragging Camille out of her hiding spot to leave. When hayley and Camille took Aurora to the car, Mia and Klaus stayed back for a second.
"You're weak." Mia whispered looking at the open wounds and his weak stature. She moved slowly the hair off her shoulder, while mainting eye contact with him telling him to feed.
The veins on his face began to reveal themselves before he aggressively brought her closer from the back of her neck. "Do it." Mia said quietly before he latched his lips onto hers.
Klaus sped them both out of the apartment and into the elevator as he bit into her neck. Mia threw her head back in pleasure as he drank from her, making noises that drove him crazy.
"Nik." Mia breathed out, as he pulled back from her licking his lips. "You and I need more time alone. I've got a lot to make up for." He said putting one finger under her chin to make her look up to him.
"A lot." Mia replied, closing her eyes as his hands played with her hair for a second before he covered her up. The elevator door dinged open and the two happily made their way out to the car with a disgusted Hayley.
"We have supernatural hearing."
